Command Analysis
West Ham United

Julen Lopetegui did not live up to expectations at all, although he was given a lot of time. In the last round, West Ham played the first match under the leadership of Graham Potter. The team played away against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, opened the scoring first, but ultimately lost with a score of 1:2. No miracle happened, the new coach clearly needs time to achieve a breakthrough, after all, the Londoners have a very decent squad and allow them to fight for at least the top 10. At the moment, in the Premier League after 20 rounds, West Ham occupies 14th place, having scored 23 points. The only positive moment so far is that even taking into account all the failures on their home field, the Londoners have suffered only two defeats in the last five matches.
